PHP - Php Session Id Failing - Possibly Linked To Msie 8 "inprivacy" And Cookies
Hi All,
first of all. Sorry for signing up to the site and then immediately asking for help. I hate doing it but always seems to be the way people get involved with forums these days and it seems I am no different... So thank you in advance if you are kind enough to answer! Among many personal flaws, my issue is a technical one regarding the ability to retain session variables. Unfortunately whilst the website itself is not complicated, the problem is not as simple as just running session_start(); and letting it get on and do its own thing. So the problem exists around a relatively simple contact form and the basic Turing test that it uses to prove the user is human. The script adds a value to the $_SESSION variable and then on the next page load, tests to see if the variable is still there. As per this little function: function cookiesEnabled() { if ($_SESSION['cookiesEnabledTest']) $_SESSION['cookiesEnabled'] = true; else $_SESSION['cookiesEnabledTest'] = true; } Now for what must be 95% of all users, the variable is still there, proving the the session is being maintained as the user navigates the site. Unfortunately a small group of computers appear to be having difficulties with this for a not too clear reason. The computers have varying browser user agents indicating that they are all (so far) using one of the following: MSIE 8 MSIE 7 MSIE 7 in what appears to be MSIE 6 compatibility mode Now in testing, I can't get MSIE 8 or MSIE 7 to produce the same effect, with exception to MSIE 8 in "InPrivate" browsing mode. In this mode it is easy to see that there is no cookie txt file being created and thus no way of the browser to pass back the session id on the next page load. I can't think of any detail that I have missed out, but if there is anything I have left unclear, please let me know! Thanks again! Felix Similar TutorialsCan someone please help me with an array problem i can not figure out. I need the array to be numbered from 1 to how ever many fields that are needed in the form and have a mysql field name and the title of the field also in the array. 1, "mysql_field_name", "Title of form field" 2, "", "" and so on then the form will be shown based on the array. I have the following draft code which I am working with. any suggestions on how i may do this array ? Code: [Select] <?php $options = array( '1'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option1', 'mysqlfield'=>'option1'), '2'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option2', 'mysqlfield'=>'option2'), '3'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option3', 'mysqlfield'=>'option3'), '4'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option4', 'mysqlfield'=>'option4'), ); // $options = array(1 => "option1", "option2", "option3", "option4"); // the line above works but i want to include the name of the mysql field as well. $userid = 1; ?> <div style="align: center; margin: 12px; font-family:Tahoma;"> <br><br><?php if ($_POST['Update'] != "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if not get data from mysql. $res = db_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `userid` = '" . $userid . "'"); foreach($options as $key => $value) { $_POST[$key] = mysql_result($res, 0, $value); } $ok_to_update = "no"; } elseif ($_POST['Update'] == "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if so get POST data. // error checking // foreach($options as $key => $value) { // $_POST[$i] = ""; // } $ok_to_update = "yes"; } if ($_POST['Update'] == "Update" && $ok_to_update == "yes") { // $res = db_query("INSERT INTO `users` () VALUES ()"); // add user details to database. ?><p><br><br><br>Thank you for updating</p><?php } else { ?><form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <?php foreach($options as $key => $value) { ?><p><?php echo($value); ?>: <input type="text" name="<?php echo($key); ?>" value="<?php echo($_POST[$key]);?>"></p> <?php } ?> <input name="Update" type="submit" value="Update"> </form> <?php } ?> </div> An insert function is not inserting. I keep getting "Could not store data, please try again." After some probing, it seems that "$result = $conn->query($user_degree_insert_query); " is where the problem is. Variables before it seem to pass testing. I can't figure out why this line is messing thins up though. Any idea? Thank you in advance for your help! The "//$degree_id = mysql_fetch_array($degree_id_query, MYSQL_BOTH) ;" is commented out because it was giving me trouble, i replaced it with the line above that $conn = db_connect(); $arraycount = count($degree_Array); //loop through the categories chosen and add them each into member-category for($i =0; $i < $arraycount; $i++){ $degree_id_query = "SELECT degree_id FROM degree WHERE degree_type ='".$degree_Array[$i]."'"; $result = $conn->query($degree_id_query); //place the id found into the array, which automatically cancatonates it. $degree_id = $result->fetch_array(); //$degree_id = mysql_fetch_array($degree_id_query, MYSQL_BOTH) ; $user_degree_insert_query = "INSERT INTO user-degree ( `user_id` , `degree_id` ) VALUES ( '".$user_id."', '".$degree_id[0]."' )"; $result = $conn->query($user_degree_insert_query); if($result) { header("Location: survey2.php"); }else { echo "<p>Could not store data, please try again.</p>"; exit; Hi, bit stuck on how to find and replace "<" and ">" with "<" and ">". I basically have a database record that outputs to screen and I need the code in the <code> tags to be rendered to the screen. I therefore need it to go through the whole array variable from the db and change the symbols just inside the code tags. Please be aware that the code tags might happen more than once here's an example below Code: [Select] <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> the desired output would be: <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> help on this would be great Cheers Rob Hi guys I am a newbie with PHP and I have been trying to solve this problem for 3 days.. Ive set up a booking form on my website to be sent directly to my email once the client clicked on the send button.. The problem I am having while checking these pages on wamp is that the booking form is ok but when I click on the send button the following message error appears "Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\fluffy_paws\booking_form2.php on line 27" When I check online I have this message "500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed." Are my codes wrong??? My webhosting is Blacknight.com , Im on Windows Vista, my internet is a dongle with O2 ireland Thanks for your help! Hi guys I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words. $find = "left"; $replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards"); $text = "left left left left"; echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text); The Output is: array array array array Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks cant work out this mysql syntax error "operation":"medupdate","medid":"","name":"ibo","medyear":"5","medmonth":"21","medday":"1","recuser":1,"SuccFail":"fail","SuccFailMessage":"error occured You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '''WHERE med_id=' at line 2","ResultData":""} Code: [Select] $sql="update metodology set med_description='".$req['name']."', med_year='".$req['medyear']."', med_month='".$req['medmonth']."', med_day='".$req['medday']."', med_recorddate= now(), med_recorduserid= 1'"; $sql.= " WHERE med_id=".$req['medid']; Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $index="1"; $_SESSION[$index]=2; echo "$_SESSION[$index]"; ?> Hi good day check how to have a variable "$index" inside session.. What I'm trying to accomplish is your average session login w/ a cookie-based "remember me" feature. I can log in fine, I can set cookies, I can access those cookies, and I can use that data to log in just as if the user had logged in manually. The problem is logging out. But the bigger problem is figuring out why. You see, it works perfect. It logs in and it log out, so long as I am outputting data to the page. I was outputting a session variable and the cookies I set to make sure they were all working right; and they were. But then as soon as I disable those echoes, all of a sudden it won't log out anymore. So then I turn them on to see what the data says and BAM, I'm logged out. I log back in fine, I log back out fine, so I turn em off again. I log in fine. I can't log out. I try multiple times. I close my browser and open a new one. Still logged in. I try a few more times, still logged in. I turn the output back on, load the page again and I'm logged out. So... WTF? (my code to follow) I'm trying to post to a (SMF) simplemachines 2.0 forum using curl. I have logged in and I have tried sending all the fields, but when I try to post, I receive this message: "The following error or errors occurred while posting this message: Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message." Do any of you know why this happens? Is the problem that when I visit the posting url, they give me a cookie that expires if I leave the posting url? I don't think the form is invalid, it looks like it has to do with the session. People at the simplemachines forum can have this problem when they try to post the ordinary way, but that is because of an inactivity period. Can my problem be because of a cookie? I am getting the following error when using composer: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? Just started. I am pretty sure composer.json wasn't changed. journalctl doesn't show anything. Maybe Doctrine related, however, nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?

This topic has been moved to Linux. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=318175.0 I have a registration form on my website and after Registration I want the user to activate first his account. I don't have problem on sending this email to the user. What I want to appear is like this.. GoodDay "username", Blah Blah! how can you actually do that? I know that you can do that through session variables but the thing is email's can't accept scripts on sending emails. how can I get the value from a session variable for example and convert it to plain html text so that i can OUTPUT it to the email.. HELP PLEASE! Hi, I currently have an if, elseif, else program that starts off with Code: [Select] if( $v_name == "" || $v_msg == "" ) echo "something" how do I turn this into a switch? but the very next elseif I have Code: [Select] elseif( strcspn( $_REQUEST['msg'], '0123456789' ) == strlen( $_REQUEST['msg'] ) ) echo "something" is it possible to turn this into a switch with 2 different strings like that to evaluate? This topic has been moved to PHP Installation & Configuration. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=347922.0 Hi all, Using a form with check boxes divided into different categories, I collect data selected by the user. I now want to combine each choice in each category with each choice in the other categories and list the combinations to the user. If the user chooses one or more options in each category, it is relatively easy to nest foreach loops, since the number of categories will always be the same. For example, if the form contains three categories of options, the code will be: Code: [Select] foreach ($form['cat_1'] as $k1 => $val1) { foreach ($form['cat_2'] as $k2 => $val2) { foreach ($form['cat_3'] as $k3 => $val3) { echo $val1.' _ '.$val2.' _ '.$val3.'<br/>'; } } } Things get complicated if the user does not select options within a given category. More generally, I want to be able to generate the list regardless of the number of categories in which the user selects options. Thank you in advance for your advice. Hey guys! I have the following doubt: I have a php file that does the following alongside with other code not displayed he $fp = fopen("emails.txt", "w"); It opens a txt file called emails.txt that is in the same folder where the php is saved but how do I tell $fp = fopen("/folderbefore/emails.txt", "w"); ?? In other words, how do I write the path on the script that the emails.txt is located in a previous folder where the php file is located?? Thanks in advance for your help Cheers! hello, I was wondering what is the point of writing for a dropdown: <?php if ($_POST[inputfieldID] == "value") { echo "selected"; } ?> or for a checkbox/ radio button: <?php if ($_POST['cb/radioID'] == "value") { echo "checked"; } ?> I guess it's for after submit, if there is any error, the values filled will still be echoed in the inputfield, or am i wrong? But then if that is true, i have a php search box where i use AJAX object to to send all the input they filled in after submit. But after pushing submit the inputted values remain. I guess when using AJAX to send the information i don't need <?php if ($_POST[inputfieldID] == "value") { echo "selected"; } ?> in my html forms? Little confused Can maybe somebody bring clearness I'm a very new PHP user (as in, I just started today) and need to make a set of navigation buttons which will take the user to "next" or "previous" pages. I assume that the $_GET function is involved, but I don't know how to do it. It needs to work like this: If the URL looks like "http://website.com/page1.php" I need the "next" button (a href image) to change it to "/page2.php", and while on page 2, for the "previous" button to take the user to "/page1.php" and so forth. How can I cause the page number to increment or decrease respective to the href image being clicked? I've tried everything I could think of to resolve this issue and just can't solve it. I created a CMS, but I get this error when I add a user that has been previously deleted. For example, I create a user with username "Alicia", then I no longer need that username so I delete it. Then later I get another person named alicia, but when I try to add a user again with username Alicia, I get this error. This only happens when the username has been previously deleted. I don't have the username field set as unique in the database and it is also not set as a key. Any ideas? This code works, I am trying to disqualify certain keywords from a website I am scraping. For some reason, the D in the word dishwasher keeps a match from happening so i have to do this without the d. I just dont understand WHY. I tried it where both of them use Clean_String() which has a strtolower and tirm in it. The subject looks right, I tried utf8_encode() to make sure they were both the correct encoding but nothing works. Can anyone explain why the letter D is causing the word 'dishwasher' to not trigger strpos when I have the word 'dishwasher' in my disqualify array? $disqualify = array("ish-washer","ishwasher"); foreach($disqualify as $dis) { if(strpos(Clean_String($subject[0]), $dis)) { $status = 0; $color = "FF0000"; } } |
